Material/Material Cost

Enter the material portion of the total cost for the current item.

Material overhead rates are used when applying overhead to material costs, as opposed to labor costs. Fixed and variable labor overhead rates can be entered on the Departments form.

The Material Cost field entered on the Production Schedule Item Materials or Production Schedule Release Materials forms will only be used for non-inventoried items. The system uses the values from this form for costing.

While you can update this field for an inventoried item, the system will ignore the update made on this form and use the appropriate costing for the item.
